I really like this type of toning, I know it isn't for a lot of folks though.

Here's the reverse a little larger, really quite intricate engraving.

    A really nice example of the Jubilee Half Crown. I saw that coin online, and I (like you) enjoy the toning. Original and very attractive to my eye.



    Also, as conservative as NGC has been with their new holdered coins, I don't think that coin would look out of place in an MS66 holder some day. Jeremy's pictures are also superb.

    I like the "gunmetal" toning (or whatever the proper name for it is) because it reminds me of how old silverware tones. The lightly colored highlights in the devices makes it even more attractive as a whole in my opinion.



    Nice work.

    Very busy design on back. The toning sets it off nicely

    That's a beautiful newp - I totally dig the reverse - look at how the toning theme just flows throughout, and matches the obverse pretty closely.
